how long does it take a bloke in nottingham to get to a hospital

toomanykooks [Edit] [Delete] 14 replies 15:50, 10 December '08

I've not been here long but a week ago i was asked by a bloke with a gashed up hand if i could spare him 1.50 so he could get to hospital, i didn't have any change. I'd of probably given him a bit if i had, it looked like a nasty wound. Yesterday i see the same bloke on my walk home(a totally different part of the city) and he asks me the same thing, gives me the exact same story, shows me the still very messy hand wound. I'm not a chump or anything, but in 7 days he could of walked to the hospital. Part of me thinks he doesn't want the money for a bus fare ;)

no, this shouldn't be a thread.

  • Anything you like, he can't hear you!!

    Oh wait.

    Perhaps he's a special-effects make-up artist fallen on hard times, and this "diseased" hand is his meal ticket.

  • there is a guy

    on my road in camden who does this, its all a big fake to suck us in... this guy used to put fake blood all over his face and hobble up to you, which is cruel as its freakin scary seeing a man totally mashed up.

    (sorry if this posted twice Dis is being a nonce)

  • Haha, that guy

    thought he wasnt still operating. Never run into him yet. Wait till you meet Wyclif.

    • jean?

      toomanykooks @Alex_b | 10 Dec '08, 15:58 | X
      • he is

        gone till november

        roshisbest @toomanykooks | 10 Dec '08, 16:01 | X
      • no, hes called just called Wyclif (thats how its spelled, I think)

        He sings at you and asks for money. Legend has it he was Danni Minogues boyfriend and had a successful singing career (as James Browns backing singer, no less) but then got into crack and lost it all. There are variations on this tale but all the core elements are the same.

        • the blues guitar man (awesome)

          • Guitar Blues man will be back

            I doubt that hes really gonna stick with the sax. His true home is outside primark playing to drunk girls at 1:30 am Saturday.

            In Ottawa theres a man without an arm who plays blues guitar, and does it pretty well, too.

            • nooooo

              where i normally see him, there was a strange man playing sax :(

              maybe he's killed him for his patch.

  • last time I feel for the 'need a bus fare for some reason' thing

    I gave them some money but it wasnt enough so they punched me in the face which I thought was a bit rude
